OHIO_ME_SrD_2010 – Designing to Make a Difference (D_MAD) – Team and Project Page SrD Calendar (2009-2010)
ME470 Syllabus (2010-1) Grading Discussion Overview > Select an engineering project that will make a difference in the life of someone in our community or region > Capture and translate the “Voice of the Customer” into meaningful design specifications and criteria. > Develop a range of feasible design concepts. > Work together with teammates to establish the foundation for effective teamwork, project management and professional skills.	ME471 Syllabus (2010-2) Overview > Design and construct a safe, reliable and effective prototype that meets the specifications and criteria and is delivered on time. > Use an FMEA approach to assess risks > Conduct appropriate design analysis (using skills developed concurrently in ME451) > Build and test mock-ups for validation (using skills developed concurrently in ME488) > Produce toleranced drawings and a manufacturing plan prior to manufacturing the prototype > Deliver the prototype along with a user’s manual (including servicing info) and work with the customer to demonstrate performance and impact (that it has made a difference in their life) - this may extend into ME472. > Continue building skills for effective teamwork and project management, and continue development activities for professional skills.	ME472 Syllabus (2010-3) Overview > Provide product support for the customer to ensure the prototype product is reliable and truly meets their requirements…Improve the prototype as necessary based on operating experience > Apply design methods (including Design for Manufacturability and Assembly, Value Engineering, Design for extreme affordability, etc.) to create a low cost transferable design (on paper). > Estimate production costs for the transferable design and evaluate whether the design should be produced. > Complete the documentation and validation of the design, including summary reports for competitions and awards. > Continue building professional skills, effective teamwork skills and project management skills.
